System and method for augmented and virtual reality
First Claim
1. A wearable display system comprising:
- a display lens configured to direct projected light toward an eye of a user of the wearable display system, the display lens further configured to selectively allow outside light from an outside environment to be transmitted through the display lens toward the eye of the user;
a rendering engine configured to generate rendering information describing virtual objects to be presented to the user through the projected light; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the display lens and the rendering engine, the processor executing instructions that cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
determining, from a plurality of available functional modes, a functional mode in which to operate the wearable display system; and
responsive to determining the functional mode;
i) instructing the display lens to selectively transmit at least a portion of the outside light through the display lens according to the determined functional mode, and ii) instructing the rendering engine to selectively generate, according to the determined functional mode, the rendering information that describes at least one virtual object to be presented through the projected light.

Abstract
One embodiment is directed to a system for enabling two or more users to interact within a virtual world comprising virtual world data, comprising a computer network comprising one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices comprising memory, processing circuitry, and software stored at least in part in the memory and executable by the processing circuitry to process at least a portion of the virtual world data; wherein at least a first portion of the virtual world data originates from a first user virtual world local to a first user, and wherein the computer network is operable to transmit the first portion to a user device for presentation to a second user, such that the second user may experience the first portion from the location of the second user, such that aspects of the first user virtual world are effectively passed to the second user.
